The all-new 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee will offer improved capability and superior
on-road ride and handling in a well-appointed package with a number of premium
amenities.

The newest generation Jeep Grand Cherokee is designed, engineered and built to
master every imaginable day-to-day driving condition, whether on paved or
unpaved surfaces.

“The Jeep Brand continues to be the only American brand
dedicated solely to the sport-utility market,” said Jeff Bell, Chrysler Group
Vice President – Jeep. “Customers expect every Jeep to set the standard for
off-road capability, and the all-new Jeep Grand Cherokee will not disappoint.
What is unexpected is that the Jeep Grand Cherokee will also be the leader in
on-road performance excitement.”

New Engines Delivering Superior
PerformanceFor the ﬁrst time ever, the 5.7-litre HEMI V-8 engine
is available on a Jeep vehicle to provide best-in-class power. Also, the
3.7-liter SOHC V-6 will replace and deliver even more peak power than the
previous 4.0-litre I-6 engine in the Jeep Grand Cherokee lineup. The 4.7-litre
SOHC V-8 engine will also continue to be available on Jeep Grand Cherokee.

Jeep Grand Cherokee is the ﬁrst sport-utility vehicle to offer
the Multi-Dis-placement System (MDS). MDS deactivates half the cylinders of the
5.7-litre HEMI during cruising and light acceleration to increase fuel economy
by up to 20 percent, depending on driving conditions. Ninety percent of peak
torque is available from 2400 to 5100 rpm for excellent performance while
trailer towing, traveling off-road as well as city and highway driving. A
sophisticated Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) system tailors throttle response
to pedal movement based on operating conditions, and maintains more consistent
vehicle speed on rolling grades when cruise control is active than the former
mechanical throttle control system.

With approximately seven percent less displacement, the
3.7-liter V-6 produces more peak power than the 4.0-litre I-6 engine it
replaces, while producing comparable torque. The engine also provides smoother,
quieter operation, added durability, and contributes to better packaging. This
engine, ﬁrst introduced on Jeep Liberty and Dodge Ram models, shares many design
features with the 4.7-litre Power Tech V-8 engine.

All-New Suspension and Steering System Provides
Best-in-Class Ride and HandlingAn all-new independent front
suspension provides the driver with a greater sense of precision and control,
more precise steering, and reduces vehicle weight and head toss. Front
suspension wheel travel is increased 13 percent over the previous generation
vehicle, and a tight turning diameter of 37.1 ft. is improved over the current
Jeep Grand Cherokee to provide even more nimble handling.

The new ﬁve-link rear suspension geometry, including a track
bar, also improves lateral stiffness to match that of the front suspension for
optimum handling.

The innovative Dynamic Handling System (DHS) is standard with
the 5.7-litre HEMI engine – a Chrysler Group ﬁrst application of a
hydraulic-controlled active stabilizer system. DHS delivers a high level of
driver conﬁdence by signiﬁcantly reducing body roll, resulting in sportier
handling when turning or maneuvering, while providing a smoother ride when
traveling straight ahead.

Also offered for the ﬁrst time, Electronic Stability Program
(ESP) aids the driver in maintaining vehicle directional stability in severe
driving maneuvers on any type of surface. Using signals from sensors throughout
the vehicle, the system determines the appropriate brake and throttle
adjustments for directional stability of the vehicle.

Grand Cherokee’s new rack-and-pinion steering system imparts a
more precise steering feel translated to the driver through fewer linkages than
a recirculating ball steering system. Even with the 2.5-inch increase in track,
Grand Cherokee’s nimbleness and tight turning diameter are maintained with the
new steering system.

Both transmissions feature Electronic Range Select (ERS) driver
interactive shift control for the ﬁrst time on Grand Cherokee. The shifter
provides fully-automated shifting when in the “drive” position, or the driver
can manually select each gear by simply moving the shifter left and right from
the “drive” position. This gives the driver control to precisely match any
on-road or off-road driving requirement.

A new stamped steel transfer case skid plate mounts to the
transmission cross member and fuel tank skidplate to provide off-road protection
to the transfer case.

Legendary Grand Cherokee Size, Styling and
ComfortGrand Cherokee’s new design provides a contemporary return
of an athletic appearance. Up front, the signature seven-slot grille ﬂanked by
the functional round appearance high-performance halogen headlamps boldly
dominates the design statement. These round headlamps unify the unmistakable
front-end appearance of the entire Jeep lineup. A proportionally longer hood and
greater distance between the center of the front axle and base of the windshield
visually communicates a more powerful image. A ﬂatter windshield and faster
A-pillar achieves a more athletic appearance. The overall design also helps to
improve vehicle aerodynamics and vehicle fuel economy. The body is
shrink-wrapped to the package, enabling designers to emphasize the powerful
wheel ﬂares. Larger taillamps in the rear feature red and clear lenses for an
upscale appearance. Overall, the 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee preserves the
right-size package that is critical for off-road use and provides nimble on-road
handling.

All-New Interior Provides Next Generation
SophisticationGrand Cherokee’s new interior is rich and inviting
with a two-tone instrument panel, door trim and new ﬁnishes. Seat contours are
precise and ergonomic with increased seat track travel. Increased headroom adds
a feeling of even more spaciousness to the interior. The dramatic and elegant
instrument panel design offers a high degree of precision and control. In the
cargo area, features such as a reversible load ﬂoor panel enhance versatility
and storage. New premium amenities – including GPS Navigation radio, rear seat
DVD, Boston Acoustics audio, UConnect™ hands-free communication system, Smart
Beam® and Rear-Park Assist – will be available on the new Jeep Grand Cherokee as
well.

The 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee will be produced at the Jefferson
North Assembly Plant in Detroit, starting in the third quarter of 2004.
Assembly for markets outside North America will begin in the ﬁrst quarter of
2005 at the Magna Steyr assembly plant in Graz, Austria.
